sandman Funny that Ali has gone there given that their back up keeper was none other than Jonathan Bond.

He must be sick of Ali taking his place.

Tis quite interesting! I always wonder how good Bond actually is. He was rated well enough by Watford fans as I recall but hes never really had a proper chance at a club yet. The man is 26. Maybe hes destined to be a back up keeper.

Peterborough fans spoke quite highly of him during his loan there - played nearly 40 games I think. I think he is one of those keepers that needs to make a decision about making decent money at Prem/Champ level without ever playing or dropping into L1 establishing himself as a number 1 for a couple of years and seeing where it takes him. No-one in the top 2 divisions will buy him now as anything other than back-up.

Hes gonna have to do a lot more to get a spot as a 3rd choice Prem keeper surely?

Probably but PL clubs often make random signings as 3rd choice senior keeper as they are really unlikely ever to play - in most cases, they would probably even play a youth keeper rather than play the 3rd choice.

Usually because they are short of the required number of English players
